The De Sousa Cuvée 3A Champagne Grand Cru is a remarkable non-vintage expression, crafted by a biodynamic and organic grower. This Champagne is a blend of 50% Chardonnay from Avize and 25% Pinot Noir each from Aÿ and Ambonnay, representing the three 'A' Grand Crus that give the cuvée its name. The old vines, some over 50 years old, contribute to its depth and complexity, with extended aging of at least three years on lees enhancing its character. 【This Champagne stands out for its unique blend from three Grand Crus, old vines, and biodynamic farming, offering exceptional balance and harmony.】 Tasting notes reveal a pale gold robe with copper highlights and fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is expressive, combining zesty citrus and tropical notes like pineapple and mango from Chardonnay, complemented by a buttery nuance from partial oak aging. Aromas of red berries such as blackcurrant and raspberry, typical of Pinot Noir, are also present, alongside hints of licorice. On the palate, it's broad and taut, underpinned by chalky minerality and a long, saline finish. Expect gloriously toasty and rich notes, with beautiful acidity, a robust tannic structure, and lingering Meyer lemon fruit and dark toasted notes. 🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile Champagne is perfect as an aperitif, especially with cheese gougères. It pairs beautifully with pork, shellfish, and rich fish like salmon or tuna. For a more adventurous pairing, consider meaty dishes such as beef or lamb, which complement its roasted root vegetable nuances. It also harmonizes well with mild and soft cheeses. 🥂 Fit for Event: Ideal for celebrating special occasions or as a luxurious beverage to elevate any gathering. Its robust and rich character makes it suitable for serving with a main course or even after dinner. It's a fantastic choice for those who appreciate aged wines, and its striking label makes it a superb house champagne for prominent display.
